Students choose from a wide selection of Japanese books in the East Asian Collection and read at their own pace. The important part of extensive reading is to choose a book where you understand 90% - 95% of the content. In doing so, you can guess the meaning of a new vocabulary word based on the surrounding context without using a dictionary. Available texts cover a wide variety of genres and contain culturally relevant aspects of Japanese history and society to supplement materials studied in other courses.
